Couple notes...
# 1 - use punctuation. Reading one giant run on sentance is really fucking annoying and your points make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
# 2 - Flies suck ass.
# 3 - You dont need to worry about form, refer to # 2.

yeah!
theres alot of flies in the gym lately 
seriously, I thought dumbell flyes were a good chest excersize. do you guys really think they suck? I use them to burn out after i'm done my pressing movements.....
The correct spelling is flys, so far everyone has it wrong so far...
A picture is worth a thousand words, seriously, just go to the library and look at the pictures, or a local bookstore.
Secondly, do what does feel right. Everyone's body is different. I have a buddy who can kick over his head, who can't understand why everyone can't do it. The body is a complex machine, and everyone is different.
Try a light weight and first and get the movement down, for a few workouts. Don't use anything heavy or you will hurt yourself.
Flys don't suck, but are a great ancillary exercise, or a good way to perform pre-exhaustion (for those who believe in it... I don't use it personally).
Anything that you can do and enjoy that is an exercise, doesn't suck. A lot of powerlifters and certain kinds of folks hate them, and that's fine.
My guess is they hate them because they are always done by whimpy gym newbies who think they are exercising, but don't know how to use a heavy weight. It's pretend... if you can't get the basics down, you shouldn't be doing the ancillaries. Ever...
Some people prone to shoulder injuries shouldn't do them. It really takes a lot of concentration and knowing your body to get the form right, so from a practical standpoint, because you asked the question, my guess is you shouldn't be doing them. They aren't worth the effort unless you are refining for a contest or doing physical therapy (I like flys because they let me work my chest after a tricep injury).

so what are good chest exercises, flys are bad, barbells are bad. decline is bad......?
It's commonly spelled Fly's, Flys, Flyes... but not flies, was my point. Didn't care to get into an etymological discussion, as people here flame for any reason they can think of, and get upset over anyone who doesn't think exactly like they do.
In all seriousness I think a lot of it has to do with high testosterone, as bodybuilders tend to have high natural rates, or increase those resting rates chemically.
But when flamers flame and do so with poor spelling, it's fun to point it out. Anyone hating anything, is a waste of time.
I see us all as a brotherhood, self correcting and forgiving. We all know we have too much test in us... (smile)

A rose by any name is just as sweet
I've never known any real BB'r in 12 years with serious mass who uses flys to bulk. I understand if you're looking for striation enhancement or trying to develop an area of the pec, but for general SIZE; inclines.Neodavid said:
That's my $.02 and I know everyone has their own development techniques.
Does the ref make sense now?

Gotcha... Yeah, I don't get major size from them, but somehow they seem to enhance the muscle just a bit, and with my physique, I need it (Pee Wee herman's whimpy cousin genes).
The benefit may even be psychological, but something about that exercise seems to hit my pecs more. You know, it may even be the stretch... I've never tried using a depth bar, but we have one with a chest cavity cut out, I should try that. Getting my hands below chest level may be a POF sort of muscle stress normal normal benches can't reach. Safer too, I've hurt myself hyperextending with flies.

If they make you hit the muscle harder, or help you fill out or whatever then you should keep doing em!Neodavid said:
Sometimes I do push-up off a bed or chair during the day if I'm standing around. I know this does little to nothing to really help my dev, but it makes me feel "pumped" and that goes a long way. It's also nice to fully stretch and contract the muscle with controled movement without the 345 bench or whatever.
Good luck bro!
